keep them. theyre still upright so can be saved. reduce the uprights to roughly the height of the main trunk. gonna look like shit but will encourage more bird life. but get a decent arborist to do it, not a gypo.

Does this tree pose a threat?
manco replied to blackarrow's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
if the tree is upright, its at risk of falling at some point. once you realise that the rest is risk management and betting. -

excellent bit of gear. well worth the money. great for fiddly little cuts where the silky struggles to fit. and small pruning thats mostly silky with a few bigger lumps. battery life sucks arse a bit of youre doing anything big but if its small stuff its great.

short answer, no. conservation area you can cut if you dont hear from them in the time. tpo you cant cut without permission. unlimited fine.

head to twitter to express your disgust that asylum seekers have caused your tree to get blown over, then phone your local council and mp, do an interview with the local news crew to demand that the government does something about the wind that blew your tree over nearly killing you in your bed, campaign for the government to make high winds illegal. if youre a labour supporter, blame the tories for not building the tree roots enough. if youre a tory, blame labour for letting high winds blow your tree over by raising taxes. or if youre a normal person and not a jobless sponge, skip the above, knock out a quick email to your local planning with a photo of the tree then pay someone to cut it up and remove it all for firewood.

thats a stump thats gone sure enough when i grind stumps i take it about 6 inches below the ground so you can get grass over the top. but i dont usually do stumps cos its hassle. if they want you chasing every bit of root to get it all then it just costs more.
-
havent seen the photos, but stump sticks above the ground. if theres nothing sticking up out of the grass then the stump is gone and whats left is root. pays to always be clear before you start. but theres always gonna be one thats a dick about it

i think that deserves a bag of burning pooh on the front doorstep for that bit of work in fact id go so far as to invite you to squat down on his front lawn the morning after a good curry.
